Testimonials

I have enjoyed my lighting more than anything I have done to the house in 42 years.

George, you hit it out of the park—I am thrilled with the lighting.

We did a considerable amount of looking at companies, including landscape companies that we respected and in the end, there was really only one choice. Outdoor Illumination is heads and tails above anyone, not just in Wilmington, but also in the Southeastern NC area. Particularly after working with George, we were thankful that we did not go with anyone else. He simply knows what he is doing, never tries to oversell or even upsell. He listens carefully to what a client wants to accomplish and then sets about creating the best options to make it happen. He will provide good, better, and best scenarios based upon budget. We found that Outdoor Illumination deals in high quality products, but not over-the-top expensive unless you specifically request it. And finally, the company is as professional as it gets: they meet the schedule, are precise with their work and bend over backwards with good service afterward. That’s what I know about Outdoor Illumination and George Hartner.

I remember the first time I worked with them. George and Jane brought a new level of outdoor lighting to Wilmington. I’m glad they chose Wilmington to be their home. Their contributions are numerous and varied.

George, I wanted to let you know that (technician Joey Grant) is one of the nicest service persons to call on us in the 15 years of living here. He is courteous, efficient and explains everything he is doing to solve the problem. You are to be commended on a terrific hire and hope you pass on our positive comments.

Great lighting is the ‘icing on the cake’ for a beautiful landscape. Never mind that great lighting also has safety as a bonus—it provides a warm, welcoming feel. Four years later I still appreciate what Outdoor Illumination has created and I consider the night lighting one of things I enjoy most about my home.

When my wife and I decided to build our home at the beach we had one requirement with our project: use only the best of the best of contractors and suppliers. During our landscaping and night lighting selections, George Hartner and his company Outdoor Illumination made that selection a no-brainer for us, let George do our lighting! It was an easy decision and George and his firm have been there to help us with any needs we have had , which were few since we moved in three years ago. I hired George’s firm to do another job for us and never met him on the job site. I just gave him a budget and forgot about it. George and his company were a pleasure to work with and we love our night lighting.

Thank you so much for the accent lighting in our backyard. We enjoy evenings sitting on the deck and watching the shadows come out. You did a wonderful job and we appreciate the beautiful setting we will enjoy for years to come.

George Hartner is by far the most creative, most professional and most pleasant sub contractor I have ever worked with. His attention to detail and warranty service work is absolutely exceptional. I am the proud owner of Landscapes Unique which is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary and in all those years we have worked with many night lighting contractors who were OK on a good day but George outshines them all day & night!!
